i dont see anything wrong with this
they said it was a privilege to represent your national team (which it is) so they should at least stand

| You'd think that whoever wrote this would realize that "liberties and freedom" include the liberty and freedom to not care about the glorified delay of game that is the anthem ceremony. |

"to not care about the glorified delay of game that is the anthem ceremony."
Because kicking/playing with a ball cant wait a few minutes, to honor those men and women who have died for our nation |

| I'm going to have to side with US soccer on this one. This isn't the same. Rapinoe just made world history by being the first person to not stand for the anthem during international FIFA play. |

like i said, i could care less if she did it in a domestic league game because anthems in the domestic league games are really moronic
she did it in an international game representing her country |

Yeah she obviously doesn't care about the USA, has never shown any passion for the country
I find it amazing how patriotism makes people so stupid, as if "disrespecting the national anthem" is what people should be outraged about |

instead of making just herself look stupid, its making the entire team and entire national team committee stupid for letting it happen
rune said it earlier, its the first time in history someone didn't stand for a national anthem in a fifa-sanctioned game |

"rune said it earlier, its the first time in history someone didn't stand for a national anthem in a fifa-sanctioned game"
Thanks? I hope you both know this literally means nothing other than that it's an original (and peaceful) protest
You guys act as if not standing for the anthem, trying to raise awareness, is the equivalent of hating the country |

you realize the whole thing started as kaep using a cover up for him just being pissed about being benched
if this thing was important for him he would've done it in a more profound game where people were actually watching |

Uh, regardless of intention, you can't deny the attention this issue has gained which can only be a good thing for change
"if this thing was important for him he would've done it in a more profound game where people were actually watching"
can't tell if trolling or just stupid |
